Microsoft Releases Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17127

We think that this is a change that everyone can get behind when it comes to future [major] Windows 10 feature updates. Per Ars Technica, in a recent blog post the company announced that it expects changes to the way Windows will handle forthcoming updates to result in substantial performance improvements.

There are now no known issues for this build, although the Windows Mixed Reality Team says: it is investigating "some rare instances where newly placed holograms appear empty and the shell may restart when switching between places". Whether it's going to be called Windows 10 Spring Creators Update or something else is also unknown as Microsoft has been unusually quiet on the naming or release date of the upcoming Windows 10 version.

Being so close to the finish line, you might be surprised to learn that there are still some new features in this build.

Windows 10 is a service, meaning it was built in a very different way from its predecessors so it can be regularly updated with not just fixes, but new features, too. "The places you add are used to give you traffic updates for your daily commute, and let you easily set reminders when you arrive or leave your places", notes Dona Sarkar in today's announcement.

Microsoft says the functionality of the profile page will be boosted over time.

Users will be able to access the profile page from the Notebook section of Cortana. Microsoft is today introducing a new profile page in Cortana and the page is powered by cloud so it would sync across all devices.

Installing updates on Windows is often treated as a joke because of the many times it can require, or insist, on a restart and how long the process can take. This is available for all Cortana markets*.

There aren't a lot of other new features included in this build, though Microsoft is bringing the redesigned Cortana Notebook to all users where Cortana is supported. Several performance improvements have also been deployed that should make Notebook load faster.

We fixed the issue where the inbox apps would fail to load inside of Windows Mixed Reality.

Microsoft is rolling out Windows 10 Preview Build 17127 for Insiders in the Fast ring and it includes improvements to Cortana.
